Microsoft Gives Up on Hailstorm

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday April 10, 2002 @03:33PM from the partly-sunny dept.

Dephex Twin writes "According to a NYTimes article: due to lack of 3rd-party support for Microsoft's "Persona" (originally codenamed "Hailstorm"), the company has been forced to dump the project. It seems the companies didn't like having a middleman between them and the consumers. As a person worried about the future with .NET, this is a bit of a relief."

Why is it hard to sign up for a free account, and always use it? Even if you create a fake account, you can have mozilla fill it in for you every time..
